Resistance-Training &
Metabolism
Exercise to Raise Metabolic Rate
One way to boost the body's
metabolism (the rate at which it burns calories at rest), is to do regular
Resistance-Training.
Resistance-Training: Faster Metabolism
The benefits of a faster
metabolic rate include faster weight reduction and fat loss. It also helps
maintain a healthy weight level in middle age. In addition, a regular
Resistance-Training workout helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels,
as well as healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.
Resistance-Training: Calorie-Burning
About 45 minutes of Resistance-Training
burns about 324 calories. In one year, this vigorous physical workout
uses up a total of 118,260 calories - about 33 pounds of body weight.
Resistance-Training and
Food
As well as taking regular
Resistance-Training exercise, try to follow a healthy diet. All weight
loss studies show that a nutritious calorie-controlled eating-plan is
essential for long term weight control.
